So then, this is not a coconut palm and does not demonstrate how a coconut palm can grow outside of tropical latitudes but merely illustrates how certain palms can grow there.

Unless I missed something, this thread has to do with growing coconut palms outside the tropics and not some plant that has the words coconut or palm in the name.

I do not mean this to be facetious, but if someone has a passion for growing tropical plants and having a mini rain forest in their back yard, then move to the tropics. That is what I did.
